Kathy Griffin returned to reprimanding President Trump on Twitter Thursday after lying low the last few weeks in the wake of her faux-bloody Trump mask photo scandal.

The caustic comedian joined the chorus of voices criticizing the president for his Twitter tirade targeting MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski.

"POTUS likes to punch down. Whether it's anchors, US Attorneys, or standup comics. Meanwhile, millions are about to lose health insurance," Griffin said in her first major Trump post since her public apology tour four weeks ago.

Earlier in the day, Trump viciously attacked Brzezinski and her "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough in a pair of tweets posted six minutes apart.

He referred to Brzezinski as "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" and called Scarborough "Psycho Joe."

He took particular aim at Brzezinski's physical appearance, claiming she once tried to visit him at Mar-a-Lago while "bleeding badly from a face-lift."

The offensive comments sparked a firestorm of outrage — even among Trump's fellow Republicans.

"Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America," South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham tweeted.

It was late last month that Griffin whipped up a different Trump tempest when she posted a photo online showing her holding up a disembodied Trump mask covered in fake blood.

The disturbing image drew comparisons to terrorist propaganda and led to a swift backlash that cost Griffin her job at CNN.

Griffin, 56, quickly apologized and hired a legal team to help navigate her Secret Service investigation.

"Trust me, if I could redo the whole thing, I would have had a blow-up doll and no ketchup," she said. "I make mistakes."

Griffin said she feared for her safety and future job prospects after members of the Trump family condemned her actions and called on business partners to sever ties.

"The death threats that I'm getting are constant and they are detailed and they are serious and they are specific," she said.

Despite all the blowback, Griffin vowed she wouldn't stop joking about Trump.

"This bully, this President, of all people, is gonna come after me?" Griffin said. "He picked the wrong redhead."
